As it was, however, there came a moment when the breath of perfume was strong; when conscience took a step too far.
Annie could not look at the empty crib where it stood in its alcove when she went to bed; and she cried upon her own pillow with heart-sickness for the child, and with a humiliating doubt of her own part in hurrying to give it up without thought of Mrs. Savor's convenience.
Indeed, brother James, I will not speak another word till you get back. I wonder what has come over us all this morning. Poor mother ill the General out of sorts you with a headache, and I, yes, I may as well own up I have got something so near heart-sickness here, that but never mind I'll shake it off, or know the reason why. But one word, James, did you ever think my mother an illiberal woman?"
It would first have been necessary to apply to his uncle for the once-rejected half-dollar. He was determined never to do that. He walked home, very thoughtful.

'Indoors I can read, and get away from my own thoughts somehow, for a little while. But out yonder, face to face with the hills and the lake the scenes I have known all my life I feel a heart-sickness that is worse than death.
For my heart fails me, and meseems, unless they have some mercy, I shall die to-day." "Nay," said the chambermaid, "keep thine heart up; for here is one at hand who would see thee, when it is thy pleasure to be seen." "Yea," said Goldilind, "Dame Elinor to wit." And she moaned, and fear and heart-sickness lay so heavy on her that she went nigh to swooning
A few years ago, he had been peddling his manuscripts with the heart-sickness of unsuccessful middle age. To-day, men coupled his name with those of Kipling and De Maupassant. One of his antipathies was meeting people who sought to lionize him. Lescott read the expression, and, before his host had time to object, swept into his recital.
